All though you are technically right, they did the physical and mental work making it their company. But while these kind gents we're off making their billions, guess who they went to when they had to get shit off their chest? Their wife. Guess where they went when they wanted to feel loved and cherished and to start a family? Their wife. Who is the person they more than like confide their deepest secrets? Their wife.

So to say these women had nothing to do with making the money would be a misrepresentation. While not directly, they did indirectly. Keeping the said gentlemen sharp of mind and taking care of things at home. There is value on that or at least there used to be.

Any old school geezer would tell you while women had less rights back then. Men respected women more then much more than they do now in America.

So you're saying that when Bill Gates amassed his fortune in the 80s his wife didn't have rights?

It always makes me laugh at charities that list the husband and wife in the title.

Like the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation or the Joan and Irwin Jacobs foundation.

Where the fuck did these women make these millions? Their husbands made all the money and they throw their name in there like it is coming from them. Beta males all the way

Do all women not work or something? Did I miss something here?

And since you bring up Melinda Gates.... This is woman who graduated from Duke with a degree in Computer Science and Economics, and then received an MBA from there. Then she went and worked at Microsoft and was a manager there before she eventually fell in love and married the big boss!

Also, note - Melinda is the one who handles and organizes the bulk of the work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, regardless if Bill is the one who brings in the paycheck. So she is not some trophy wife.

Even if he does... this is a household income, regardless who brings it in, it goes in one pool, is managed, spent, and used by a family. So she should have all right to put her name down.

wiggsican, did you and your wife have such a relationship? what happened?

1. Age difference -she's 9 years older than me. As we got older, we became different people with different wants and needs.2. Sexual compatibility - Her sex drive was alot less than mine. I'll leave it at that.3. Philandering - She did it once, I did it more than once.4. With no children, no real goals together.5. Both too independent of each other.

It got to the point to where we were just roommates. It sucked. I should have spoken up earlier and perhaps it could have been saved but I wanted to, "keep the peace." Worst mistake I made.

So there are always regrets, but would have, could have, should have right?

So you're saying that when Bill Gates amassed his fortune in the 80s his wife didn't have rights?

Since when is Bill Gates an old geezer? I'm taking people that were married in the 60s and earlier like Gates parents.Each state is different but in most states the wife is only entitled to half of what was accumulated after the marriage.

Well, the OP mentioned Bill and Melinda Gates specifically... So I just stayed on that course of action.

Gates was a broke ass before he started Microsoft... His parents were not rich either.

I don't have a problem with these types but how about the women socialites who are serial charity party organizers who make a living out of partying every weekend in the name of a a different charity. What a fcking scam!

I like hearing you talk about things not pertaining to conspiracy theory, you are very well spoken brother.

not true, his mom was on the board of IBM and guided him on all his decisions, specifically putting a patent on Windows when Steve Jobs wouldn't

When was this? I went and read she was on the board of United Way and some bank.

Oh... I see what you're saying.

No... She was on the United Way board and some other guy who was on the IBM board was on the United Way board as well... And there are rumors that Open (From IBM) mentioned Microsoft to IBM persons... there is not documented proof of this.
